I've also had problems with mail.  I have two questions about it:

1) /bsd4.3/usr/ucb/mail seems to work ok to get messages between users on
the Apollos EXCEPT for root:  The root user can send messages fine; but when
mail is sent to root, "mail" reports "No mail for root." -- the message
never arrives.  Is there something I am doing wrong?

2) As a fledgling sys admin, I am having lots of difficulties getting a mail
handler set up to send and receive mail with the outside world (i.e.
anything but the Apollos, either on the local network or any other network
we are connected to).  I've tried to read the manuals, but am not sure where
to start...and my local Apollo service guy,though he is extremely friendly and
helpful, doesn't know anything about mail and can't give me help.  Does
anyone know what manuals I should read or what I should do to get started?

We are running SR10.1 Aegis and BSD (all users use BSD) on 11 3500 and
4500's.

Thank you very much!
Jon
